[Verse 1]
I Dcried when they Gshot Medgar DEvers G
DTears ran down my spBmine
I cDried when they Gshot Mr. KeDnnedy
As though I'd lE7ost a father of A7mine
But MDalcolm X Ggot what was coDming
He F#mgot what he asked for this Gtime
So Dlove me, Bmlove me, Glove me, A7I'm a Dliberal
[Verse 2]
I Dgo to Gcivil rights DrallieGs
DAnd I put down the old D.A.BmR.
I love DHarry and GSidney and DSammy
I hope E7every colored A7boy becomes a star
But Ddon't talk aGbout revoDlution
That's F#mgoing a little bit too Gfar
So Dlove me, Bmlove me, Glove me, A7I'm a Dliberal
[Verse 3]
I Dcheered when GHumphrey was DchosenG
My Dfaith in the system reBmstored
I'm Dglad the Gcommies were Dthrown out
Of the E7A.F.L. C.I.O. A7board
I Dlove Puerto GRicans and DNegros
As F#mlong as they don't move next Gdoor
So Dlove me, Bmlove me, Glove me, A7I'm a Dliberal
[Verse 4]
ThDe people of Gold MissisDsippi G
DShould all hang their heads in Bmshame
I cDan't underGstand how their Dminds work
What's the E7matter don't they watch Les A7Crane?
But iDf you ask me Gto bus my Dchildren
I F#mhope the cops take down your Gname
So Dlove me, Bmlove me, Glove me, A7I'm a Dliberal
[Verse 5]
I Dread New ReGpublic and DNationG
I've Dlearned to take every Bmview
You know, I've Dmemorized GLerner and DGolden
I E7feel like I'm almost a A7Jew
But when it Dcomes to Gtimes like KoDrea
There's F#mno one more red, white and Gblue
So Dlove me, Bmlove me, Glove me, A7I'm a Dliberal
[Verse 6]
I Dvote for the GDemoctratic Dparty G
DThey want the U.N. to be Bmstrong
I Dgo to all the GPete Seeger Dconcerts
He E7sure gets me singing those A7songs
I'll Dsend all the Gmoney you Dask for
But don't F#mask me to come on aGlong
So Dlove me, Bmlove me, Glove me, A7I'm a Dliberal
[Verse 7]
OnDce I was Gyoung and imDpulsiveG
I wore Devery conceivable Bmpin
Even Dwent to the Gsocialist Dmeetings
Learned E7all the old union A7hymns
But ID've grown Golder and Dwiser
And F#mthat's why I'm turning you Gin
So Dlove me, Bmlove me, Glove me, A7I'm a Dliberal
